“EVERY VISUAL ART EDUCATION PROGRAM CAN SEE THE STRENGTHS OF THEIR CURRENT PROGRAM REFLECTED IN THESE STANDARDS—and can use this resource to identify and prioritize those areas for building the capacity to offer a more complete and comprehensive visual art education for all students. As an administrator, I welcome the way in which this new interactive resource can serve the needs and support the efforts of art educators and so many others.”
